[Defy General] MrPink52:
Hello,

first off I'd like to thank all active members of the forums... great to have a place to come to to get acquainted with what Android has to offer ;)

Now down to business... I just got my first Android phone (obviously a Motorola Defy :cool:). I have read quite a bit on how to root the phone and on the different custom roms (CM7 and MIUI). Although I have never rooted or flashed the phone I am pretty confident I could do it after seing some of the tutorials... but here are my questions:

(1) I heard in a german forum (I am from Germany) that you lose the warrenty on your phone if you root it or custom flash it. And even if you flash back a stock froyo they can still tell it was rooted previously and can refuse warrenty.

Is that true? :confused:

(2) What are the advantages specificly for the Defy with a custom rom other than "Deblurring" it. I personally don't really have a problem with blur... I don't think it looks to bad and it seems to run fairly smoothly (although this is my first android phone so I don't have any comparison).

Here are some various topics I have picked up on but would like clarification:

- Camera recording in full screen resolution 800x454 (or whatever the res was)

- HD video playback

- possibility to overclock the CPU (easily to 1ghz and higher)

- fixing the lcd brightness bug in froyo to unlock full screen brightness

Those are some of the topics I have picked up on but am not entirely sure about the what's and how's concerning rooting/flashing your phone.

If it were just the motoblur and you would lose your warrenty I wouldn't root / flash my phone. But if you don't lose warrenty and/or all those advantages are true and can be achieved after rooting.... I just might :p

Ps: One last question how exactly can I tell if I have the red or green lens... I looked at the lens and I can't really tell a color? (Or is this maybe only for US phones?)

Thanks again everyone.

-MrPink52
[Defy General] kenkoo611:
1. It is very convenient to get back the warranty. Just flash the full sbf for your country before giving your phone back to moto. I think it is rather hard to brick the defy. So, I suggest you to learn how to flash sbf before root your phone.

2. It depends on everyone's choice. Rooting can give you space to customize your phone. You can just try to flash some custom roms such as cm7 or miui to compare which one is better.
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
rooting is reversible process..u can also unroot it..and in case of flashing, u can always go back to ur stock ROM..moto ppl wont come to know the past of ur mobile..

custom ROM makes ur defy faster, smoother, will give great performance..great battery life, etc. its worth trying out custom roms..

before starting anything, u can download ur stock sbf(links can be found in this forum), keep it in a safe place, and start the rooting and installing custom rom..if somethings happens to ur phone, u can easily flash ur stock rom back and give it to moto service centre :)

and in case of lens color, try to see the centre of the lens with the help of torch or see in brightness or something.. i m sure u will surely see red or green color

All the best :)

Hello all,

I have just bought an HTC Sensation, and unfortunately it was made in China. So it supports only Singapore(english), Vietnamese (english), etc. as language packs.

I am new to HTC and android operational systems and I am trying to find how can I add some language packs.

I have read on the forums that this is not possible, and in order to change the operational language to lets say an EU pack, you have to flash the ROM and install a new one.

Does anyone knows how I can do that, and where can I find such a Rom release to download?

P.S. Can someone please explain to me what is the S-off version of the ROM?

Thank you for your time.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dean_fx:
I know there are ways to get sprints Visual Voicemail application to work with different ways of going to titanium backup and what not.

This is just a zip I put together that IS FLASHABLE, so you just flash, and enjoy. I see a few people have had troubles with getting this to work other ways.

Hopefully this helps.

This is confirmed to work on 2.3.4, 2.3.5 & 2.3.7 based roms.

ALL AOSP!!!!

Instructions

1) Download aosp-vvm package

2) Place anywhere on your sdcard.

3) Boot into recovery

4) Flash aosp-vvm pack

5) Reboot

6) Open "Voicemail" application in your app drawer.

7) ENJOY!

After opening the application (Step 6) it will provision your voicemail, this may take a few minutes, be patient.

Let me know if you have any questions! If not, just hit the thanks button and enjoy ;-)

Click to download
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CribbageLeft:
Download doesn't work.

This would be amazing except I can't get the download to work (404 error).

Is there any way to host the file elsewhere? Or try again.

Thanks for your efforts.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dean_fx:
I probably moved the file around in my dropbox somewhere.

Ill reupload and give the new link. Give me a few minutes

EDIT: download link in op updated
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] imheroldman:
Trying this out now! I appreciate the work, this will open me up to more AOSP good ness!

I know that you can install the gapps with the VVM that works. I put this up that don't want to re-flash gapps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] imheroldman:
Got it working! Didn't wipe, may have caused it, but I got a boot loop. Just had to reboot through fast boot. Boot boot boot boot... haha, bit tired and delirious.

Just curious but the script said it was doing something to the system? Struck me as odd, probably just because it adds it to system apps instead of data?

I have the same problem, and I do not have handcent txt app. I know that app was the reason for the 9016 txt for some ppl.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luist4498:
I finally found a fix for the annoying 9016 text messages! U have to grab the MMS app from decks 1.3d beta AOSP rom and replace the one in cm7 with it using root explorer. I tested this and it works guys. No more 9016 texts!

I like gvoice better but my status bar is always white. I'm never connected to Google servers and never get my voicemails. I have to hit refresh.

Does this happen to anybody else? Cm7?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luist4498:
I had a whole bunch of problems with Gvoice when i tried it! It took over my calls and vm and was really annoying to use. I had to call Sprint to take it off the phone. VVM is flawless imo and now i got it working perfectly on CM7!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] accessing:
Can you upload it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luist4498:
Here is the exact one i am using. Remove stock one first than replace with this one. Fix permissions and reboot(using root explorer).

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] accessing:
What do you mean by 'fix permissions'?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luist4498:
Once moved to system app you long press it and choose permissions, then make sure the boxes are checked exactly like the other system apps already there. Long press any system app there and see how the permission boxes are set and make sure your newly installed mms app is the same.

So some people are actually not getting the 9016 or whatever txt messages with each voice mail?

Does anyone know if this will work on other phones besides the EVO? My wife has an Optimus S running CM7 and VVM doesn't work for her at all. She's using YouMail right now and absolutely hates it. We're both at work right now or else I'd give it a try on her phone.

Hey man thanks for the flashable file, i was really to missing not being able to check my voice mail without having to call.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luist4498:
What do you mean? If u already have everything installed but its not working i would delete whatever VVM app you have first. Than delete the stock CM7 MMS app and install the MMS app i posted below and reboot. Then install the VVM app below(from the 8/22 GAPPS)back to the phone and reboot. Then go set up the VVM and it should verify by itself. All can be done using Root Explorer(what i use).

View attachment Voicemail.apk

View attachment MmsCM7fix.apk

Also, some have had success with the following if the VVM app is not verifying there account automatically. Press menu in VVM and compose a message over 25 seconds long. Send the message to activate@vvm.sprint.com and make sure you have either wifi or 3g enabled so it will send. This should kick start it.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ss12108:
OMFGB

I've been using the OMFGB nightlies, and I just can't get VVM to work. I flash the zip after a clean install of the rom, gapps, and kernel, it provisions successfully (but only on 3G...won't work over wifi), and even send myself a VM which comes through fine (again only on 3G). But, after that, I get the text from 9016 saying I have a VM (I didn't block the texts yet so I know if I have VMs or not), but it does not download over 3G or wifi.

Anyone else have this issue, or have a suggestion? I'm stumped!

Edit: Nevermind. I did a data restore from TB again using a backup from a different stock rom and it seems to have worked.

Edit 2: OK now its downloading the VMs but says unable to play message when I open them. Not sure what to do. Back to hoping someone out there can help me :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Braneless:
Have you ran fix_permissions or tried to reboot? I am able to use this app on a phone that never had it in the first place.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ss12108:
Yea I've done both. It has to be something I'm doing, or something with my setup, but I just don't get why its giving me such problems. I've even done complete wipes with fresh installs, after redownloading all zips to make sure there was nothing corrupt with anything.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] macEVOlution:
ok so i did this and VM works great and i no longer receive the 9016 texts, but i now have lost my notification sound and/or vibrate for any type of incoming message. I get the icon in the status bar but no sound or vibrate all of a sudden

Go into the VVM app and hit menu/settings/notifications. The options for vibrate and sound choices are in there.

I've tried that too. Doesn't work for me. VVM won't even activate when I install the version you posted. I even try to send the 25 second recording to the activate@vvm.sprint.com and it just sits as undelivered.

I just can't seem to get VVM to work with OMFGB.

I avoid blaming the ROM bc there has to be other people that are able to get it working.

I had a similar issue with BT when switching kernels, where my BT wouldn't pair when using a certain version of a kernel. NOTHING would work, until I wiped everything including SD, and reflashed, and I've had no issues since.

I tried doing the same thing for this VVM issue and it still won't do the trick. Seems as if my device just doesn't want to play nice!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luist4498:
Were you using Google Voice or some other vm app before? I have heard some say that they couldnt get VVM to work after setting up Google Voice.....

Sent from my Iphone slayer
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ss12108:
Nope. I'm thinking if a new nightly comes out which is worth updating to I will wipe everything and start from scratch. There's gotta be something with the way I'm flashing, or maybe something being restored from TB that is screwing it up. The only system data I restore is WIFI access points, but one never knows if there's something else.

It wasn't working at first with Salvage Mod either, and then all of a sudden after a full wipe and re-flash it started working. Who knows...I tried the flashable version after this last wipe, so maybe I will just try the .apk you posted next time to see if that does the trick after a clean wipe.

Thanks for your help. Its much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luist4498:
Well i tried the flashable vm zip i found on here on salvage mod as well with no results! I used the gapps that have the vvm app in them and that did it. So thats the vvm app i have been using and recommending to others. And i never use TB to restore anything system and only some data for user apps. Dont trust it that much really........

Just to clarify man, I'm running the same rom with the GodMode kernel by Toast. Same issue. I get the 9016, but never told anything by the app. Tried without GodMode, same deal. It says "provisioned successfully" but this is not the case, and it works fine on CM7, but not OMFGB. I'm guessing that based off of this, it has something to do with the google services framework. So to help you out, you're not doing anything wrong, it may actually be what I just stated or an XML file. Ima sit tight and also see the new nightly, but it has not worked on any OMFGB, so I may address this topic on their thread. Just thought I'd share this with you :)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KikiKamKam:
Flash the file to get VVM working, then go to the market and download "Advanced Call Blocker", in the blacklist, add 9016, disable notifications, and you're good to go! That's what I do, and you'll never have to deal with those stupid notifications again :)

Hello all,

I just recently switched from iPhone 3GS to the new HTC Sensation and I am loving my new life.

As for now I am using Android Revolution HD 1.1.3 which is a big improvement over the stock ROM, feels faster, smoother and more responsive. When you flash a new ROM, is it possible to backup your messages, your linked contacts etc? I do get my contacts through google, but i have to manually link them all to their spesific facebook accounts which takes some time, esp. if you want to try different ROM's daily. :D

I also installed CRT on/off animation and Minimalistic fonts for Android Revolution, the animation works but I can't see any changes to the fonts? Help?

I can't reply to the actual thread in the development section because lack of permission to do so.

Recommending Android Revolution HD ROM with this theme, smooth!

Hi guys,

Has anyone else been experiencing less than satisfactory battery life upon installing the GB update? This morning after I took my unit off of its charging dock it was fine. An hour later in the office (with no incoming calls or other usage by me) and the damn thing dropped to 80%!! That has never happened before. Is there an add-in or something to counteract this drainage?

HELP.

The "Soak Testers" have been warned that there is a lot of syncing that goes on the first day of a build, and since these are all totally clean installs, the battery info could be off. Wait a couple days and see what happens.

I have actually seen a boost in battery life. While i was on 2.2 I did all that i could to get through 3/4 of a day on a full charge. Now, with similar usage, I have been going to bed with 50% battery remaining.

On the topic of battery life, I have been playing around with Juice Defender Plus. Essentially it turns off my 3G and wifi radios when my screen is off. Does anyone know if that constant turning on and off of the radios uses more battery than if i just leave them on?
